i dont like a lot of grime but it's so mixed in with dubstep that im starting to get deeper into it. I like dizzee the most b/c of his style he's really uk but the manner in which he rhymes has an american flow to it. And no one does hip hop better than the us.

The music, the style of rap is shit, just my opinion though.
The lyrics were a bit better than average but as a whole the track was bollocks as is every track I've ever heard by Dizzy R.
The rhymes ain't that good, immortal technique has way more intelligent raps.

immortal technique isnt from the uk. so you cant really compare. as far as skill level i'd say that dizzee's wordplay is definitely comparable. they are both pros.

sounds like a bunch of jibberish if it isnt studio. that's one thing i dont like about grime.

I seriously hate UK rap and Dizzee Rascal is terrible!
Klashnekoff is probably the best UK rapper out there

I never enjoyed the freestyle above either, i dont know what it is about UK rap..
Check out this video here of a great freestyle from Chamillionaire. J-Mac is from the radio show so its understandable his rhyming sucks but Chamillionaire is on a different level.
